SSH Tunnel in 30 Seconds (Mac OSX & Linux)

Some days, I wonder why VPN’s are really necessary when we can just use an SSH tunnel.
If you’re on Mac or a flavour of Linux, this SSH tunnelling tutorial is for you.

“A secure shell (SSH) tunnel consists of an encrypted
tunnel created through a SSHprotocol connection. Users may set up SSH
tunnels to transfer unencrypted traffic over a network through
an encrypted channel.” – Wikipedia
